Quote:Razor-Qt is a new Qt-based desktop environment for Linux systems.

The Razor-Qt desktop was just updated to version 0.4.0 after being in development for months. This release improves stability of the lightweight desktop, introduces several new components, offers new translations, a new theme, new panel plug-ins, and much more. The new Razor desktop components are azor-runner, razor-config, qtxdg, and Razor own menu.

Razor-Qt is self-described as "an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt technologies. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and intuitive interface. Unlike desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines."

More information on this new desktop release can be found in this blog posting.

Questions: does this mean RPM is the only type of packaging available atm? What does this affect Ubuntu users? Thank you.

Quote:Links to packaking environments

RPM: QtDesktop build service repository
DEB: in progress
eBuild: n/a

It was confused because I could find qtfm as .deb http://www.qtfm.org/qtfm_5.3_i386.deb

Hi guys, Umm, I'm a bit confused, is this razor thing a desktop environment like Unity, Kde,Gnome Lxde,etc? And if one does install this, does that mean multiple choice at login, and/or is this only for any OS pre-11.10? Huh

Sorry for my ignorance, and I'm probably batting well above my head, but if it's interesting to Pinguy, Vanlong, Valtam and others, is must be worth asking questions about Blush
